| Disease Name: | Colorectal Neoplasms |
| Sample: | colorectal cancer tissues |
| Dysfunction Pattern: | Regulation[miR-7-5p/YAP1 axis] |
| Validated Method: | Western Blot//Wound Healing Assay//CCK8//Flow Cytometry//Luciferase Report Assay//Colony Formation Assay//Transwell Assay |
| Description: | By bioinformatics analysis, CASC21 was found to be significantly up-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues.Mechanistically, CASC21 could competently bind to miR-7-5p, resulting in increased YAP1 expression. Furthermore, up-regulation of YAP1 could rescue the inhibitory effects of CASC21 knockdown on EMT and cell invasion. |
| Causality: | Yes |
| Causal Description: | Moreover, CASC21 knockdown displayed significant depression in cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion in colorectal cancer cells, as well as EMT process, while cell apoptosis was promoted by regulating the Bcl-2/Bax axis and Caspase cascade. |

| Disease Name: | Colorectal Neoplasms |
| Sample: | colorectal cancer tissues |
| Dysfunction Pattern: | regulation[regulating CDK6] |
| Validated Method: | CCK8//qRT-PCR//RIP//Luciferase Report Assay//Colony Formation Assay//EdU Staining//ChIP |
| Description: | CASC21 is overexpressed in CRC and high CASC21 expression is associated with poor survival.Mechanistically, we found that CASC21 expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm. CASC21 could interact with miR-539-5p and regulate its target CDK6. |
| Causality: | Yes |
| Causal Description: | Functional experiments revealed that CASC21 promotes CRC cell growth. |
| Clinical-realted Application: | CASC21 is overexpressed in CRC and high CASC21 expression is associated with poor survival. |

| Disease Name: | Colorectal Neoplasms |
| Sample: | CRC cell |
| Dysfunction Pattern: | Interaction(miR-485-5p/POU5F1B) |
| Validated Method: | RNA Pull-Down//qRT-PCR//RIP//IF//Luciferase Report Assay//IHC//ChIP |
| Description: | In addition, CASC21 was co-expressed with and bound to transcription factor POU5F1B (POU class 5 homeobox 1B). CASC21 recruited POU5F1B to HGH1 promoter to activate the transcription of HGH1 homolog. Also, CASC21 served as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to up-regulate HGH1 via endogenously sponging miR-485-5p. |
| Causality: | Yes |
| Causal Description: | The results revealed that CASC21 facilitated CRC cell proliferation, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness. |
